Fiona Apple

In March 2012, when Fiona Apple performed at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, she was promoting her album "The Idler Wheel..." released the same year. This marked her first album in seven years, following "Extraordinary Machine" in 2005, and was characterized by its stripped-back sound and deeply personal lyrics. The performance of "Valentine" during this live recording showcases Apple's lyrical exploration of complex emotions, reflecting her signature style of introspective storytelling. Notably, the album was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, signaling a significant comeback for Apple after a prolonged hiatus from the music scene. Her unique vocal delivery and artistry were on full display, reaffirming her status as a distinctive voice in the alternative music landscape.
